Is ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ the end for Wolverine?

Hugh Jackman ponders if we’ll see him wearing Wolverine’s claws again after Bryan Singer’s upcoming X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST epic, while speaking with MTV News during promotions for his latest film “Prisoners”.

“Maybe there’s no more Wolverine. Maybe this is it.”

“It may be the last. By the way, it didn’t hit me until three weeks before the end [of shooting ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past], because we promoted ‘The Wolverine’ and I came back on set with three weeks to go, and that’s when I went, ‘Well, who knows? Maybe there’s no more Wolverine. Maybe this is it. Who knows? Maybe.’ So I really made the most of those last few weeks. I enjoyed every time I put the claws on.”

“Now he’s owning that Wolverine nature and everything.”

“Definitely. Even more, I think, than in ‘X-Men 3,’ where he was reluctantly becoming a member of the team, now he’s owning the warrior in him. Now he’s owning that Wolverine nature and everything, again, is so cataclysmic in the beginning of that movie that it’s all hands on deck. He’s certainly right in the middle of it.”

“If I tell you it is giving away literally the key scene.”

As honest as Jackman was about hanging up the claws and shaving his muttonchops, there was one thing he had to remain mum about: the final scene he shot for “Days of Future Past.” “If I tell you it is giving away literally the key scene,” Jackman said. “Literally, I would be killed. I cannot say one part of that scene.”
